Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
因为没看过原著所以我的心和观感不再局限。现代版的观感焕然一新，略带一丝自由与轻盈，有去年小妇人的感觉了。结尾我🐦美美唱歌🥵🥵好好听
到第五部编不出来了，整个恐怖片爱好者致敬经典杀人事件，甚至里面的人物都开始总结剧情套路还解说剧情，来来回回就这么点人物实在编不出花了，这个系列还不如重启
在状态非常糟的情况下看的，突然就和女主有了共鸣，之前以为已经很糟了，结果更糟的在后面。
建议别看这部了，可以看看《鬼书》，《它在身后》，《女巫》，《遗传厄运》这些电影。
生活流无出路故事，但是困难设计和表演都比较一般，结尾开推土机还挺有意思，6.5
世界上需要更多像惠英一样敢正面刚，甚至举止恐怖的底层女性。受压迫者最好的崛起方式，就是不停地被打倒、不停地站起来。
电影本身只值两星，一星给确实很美的画面。奈飞的电影越来越水了，没啥意思。
男主丑爆了气质也很差，跟原著有一星关系吗！
尽管被拍成了《布里奇顿》式的劝导，但是好看啊，没有过分的克制，误解，好事多磨。场面调度有点《镀金时代》。
造孽，一连看了两部恐怖老IP烂片——《惊声尖叫5》和新版《德州电锯杀人狂》，两部还都烂出了喜剧效果，所以看着也没那么无聊，就是单纯的没营养，是那种很适合在你枯燥乏味的一天快要结束后，拿出来荒废时间的电影。
消费一把老粉丝情怀，其实现在新一代影迷看的东西太多了，雁过无痕，跟本没有咱当年那种资源相对匮乏时看到它像珍宝一样纳入记忆的珍惜之情
6.8分。美国恐怖片的粉丝同人作品，从《恶魔书》到乔丹·皮尔，早年的杰森和麦叔甚至《惊魂记》也要Cue，还内涵星战8。不过现在的年轻演员不如以前质量高了，第三幕的影迷为Motive实在是太疲软了，1996年的比利·鲁米斯和斯都·马彻实在是在我心中留下了太深的印象。这部粉丝的同人作品，要比《黑客帝国4》的“原班人马”要认真的多。
1小时5分左右医院大战那场戏真是傻逼的可以！
2-3天断断续续看完。“Who needs romance, when one has... family?”
恶人得意得益
权贵阶层欺压底层人民，看着真是好压抑啊，女孩有勇无谋的反抗亦只能给自己带来伤害，最后还是爸爸的保险金帮了她和弟弟。电影想表达什么呢？
为撒这些经典IP都要重启毁形象…[捂脸]
很久很久以前看过第一部和第二部，内容已经有点记不起来了，但没想到女主到第五部还杀不死（笑），挺特别的一系列，在想要不要回溯看，换句话说如果两位女主最终被“杀死”的话就不会有下一部了？愿两位女主长命百岁
看完沉默。。。。乱改编记大过！必须重温07版才能治愈。拜托你可是劝导耶！
哈哈没想到剧情能和第一部联动的这么好！女神虽然老了但依旧很美！
